MSN nickname was changed but not by me!

No one has access to my log on etc but when I logged on to msn the other day, my nick had been changed to DR RED.

It has alarmed me as I only use msn at home and no one else has access to my pc and I've had the same nick for ages.

Can anyone shed any light on how this happened?

    Someone must have access to your account... Do you use automatic login??? If so maybe someone just turned on the PC and changed the name when it logged on

    Thanks scooter. As far as I know, no one has access to my account as no one else can use my pc.

    Not having access to your pc doesn't necessarily mean they don't have access to your account. They may have simply guessed/hacked your password. Also would be advisable to check your pc for spyware/viruses etc.
